An 11-year-old boy has fatally shot his grandfather at a North Carolina mobile home during a domestic fight, US authorities said.
The incident happened on Monday night in Kittrell, a small North Carolina town of less than 500 people located south of the Virginia border.
Vance County sheriff's deputies responded to an address there after getting a call about a fight, Sheriff Peter White said.
White said Lloyd Woodlief, 84, had initially wounded his 49-year-old son Lloyd Peyton Woodlief with a .22-caliber gun before the unidentified boy fired a shotgun at his grandfather.
While Lloyd Woodlief died at the scene, his son is being treated at Duke Medical Center in Durham, CNN reported.
The 11-year-old boy was grandson of Lloyd Woodlief.
Charges are pending, the sheriff added, though he did not specify who might be charged, or for what, the report said.
